The best use and value for the property is commercial and light office.

The agencies and departments present include: Meridian Fire Department, Meridian Police Department, Meridian Parks Department, Meridian Public Works Department, and the Sanitary Services Company. No significant comments were received from any agencies or departments. Staff has included all comments and recommended actions in the attached Exhibit A. Because this is only a rezone application, there are no conditions of approval. 8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designates the property as "Old Town", and it is currently zoned R-4. Old Town is defined as follows: "This includes the historic downtown and the true community center. Uses would include offices, retail and lodging, theatres, restaurants, and service retail for surrounding residents and visitors. A variety of residential uses could include reuse of existing buildings for residential uses, new construction of multi-family residential over ground floor retail or office uses. In order to provide and accommodate preservation of the historical character, specific design requirements may be imposed. Pedestrian amenities would be emphasized. Public investment to ensure that Old Town becomes a centralized activity center with public, cultural, and recreational structures would be encouraged. The boundary of the Old Town district predominantly follows Meridian's historic plat boundaries. In several areas, both sides of a street were incorporated into the boundary to encourage similar uses and complimentary design of the facing houses and buildings." Staff finds that the proposed Rezone complies with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the goals and objectives set forth therein. 9. ZONING ORDINANCE a. Zoning Schedule of Use Control: Please see UDC Table 11-2D-2 for a complete listing of principal permitted (P), accessory (A), and conditional (C) or prohibited (-) uses within the 0- T district. A sample of permitted uses in the 0- T district include the following: churches, group daycares, single-family dwellings, townhouses, duplexes, multi-family developments, education institutions, financial institutions, healthcare of social services, personal or professional services, restaurants, retail stores, and vertically integrated residential projects. b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the O-T District is to accommodate and encourage further intensification of the historical city center in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the 0- T District is to delineate a centralized activity center and to encourage its renewal, revitalization and growth as the public, quasi-public, cultural, financial and recreational center of the City. Public and quasi-public uses integrated with general business, and medium-high to high-density residential is encouraged to provide the appropriate mix and intensity of activities necessary to establish a truly urban city center. 10. ANALYSIS a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation REZONE ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting a rezone of this property because the school district is relocating their Administrative Offices to another site and will no longer need the current facilities located on the subject property. They would like to sell the portion of the property where the offices are located and an 0- T zoning designation would allow for future commercial and light office uses. The applicant is also requesting a concurrent Property Boundary Adjustment (PBA) for the property that will be considered at staff level, which proposes to reduce the total number of lots to 4 from what was originally platted in 1903 with the Niday's Addition Subdivision. A conceptual development plan has not been submitted with this Joint School District No.2 - RZ-06-014 PAGE 4 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF FEBRUARY 20, 2007 application. The School District is not planning on developing the property, rather they are planning to retain the elementary school and sell the property fronting on N. Meridian Road and W. Pine Avenue once it is re-zoned. Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan, staff believes that the rezoning of this site to 0- T is in the best interest of the City. Please see Exhibit C for detailed analysis of facts and findings. The rezone legal description submitted with the application (prepared on November 14, 2006 by Patrick Scheffler, PLS) shows the property within the existing corporate boundary of the City of Meridian. Sanitary sewer and water service: The current buildings are serviced by existing service lines to the City of Meridian's domestic water and sewer systems. The condition of these services is unknown at this time. The applicant will be responsible for all costs associated with any sewer and water service extension or upgrade. Wells may only be used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation. Future Uses: If this property is rezoned to 0- T, all new construction and exterior modifications on the site shall be subject to administrative design review in accordance with the Downtown Meridian Design Guidelines. Any applications that do not meet the criteria in the Downtown Meridian Design Guidelines shall be subject to a conditional use permit per UDC ll-2D-4. For this reason, staff does not believe that additional design standards are necessary to be placed in a Development Agreement with this rezone request. Address: The site is currently addressed off of State Street, which the property does not have frontage on; State Street exists across N. Meridian Road to the east of the site but only extends to the section line of N. Meridian Road. This discrepancy could cause critical delays in emergency vehicle response time to the site. The applicant should contact Tricia Bieren in the Public Works Department at 898-5500 to request a change of address. A Certificate of Zoning Compliance will be required for all new construction, alterations, and/or the establishment of a new use per UDC ll-5B-IA. All future re-development of the subject property shall be constructed in accordance with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. All future uses shall not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. b. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval ofRZ-06-014 for 911 N. Meridian Road as presented in the staff report for the hearing date of January 18, 2007 based on the Findings of Fact as listed in Exhibit C. Staff has included all comments and recommended actions in the attached Exhibit A (because this is only a rezone application, there are no conditions of approval).
